Sure, but if you have a staff of 10000, you're doing this 10000 times. Unless you share that in a common place, and now you're re-inventing the thing we're claiming not to need.

I've seen two resdit threads where people insisted the hands were wrong, and people took photos of their hands in the same pose. But, then, people did this for digital editing before. Insisted there were "clear signs of photoshop&

Until quite recently, the reasonably feature complete open source libraries available for things like DICOM or HL7 were old C/C++ libraries, Java, and C#. That often created a choice between Java and C#. People not doing Windows based

You're saying "not just completing a test", but this will inevitably be a test, just in conversation form.

Watch people draw, and you'll realize that can't be true, or at least is a very incomplete description of what's going on. People have processes they go through to eventually get to something reasonably correct. Systems for d

I never find the ability to visualize things, or imagine voices or sound, too interesting, as I have never used those abilities to do anything practical. I do not rehearse words in my head before talking, or create an image in my head befor

Most of the listed problems are issues of incentives, and those are true everywhere. Insurance companies are always going to be reluctant to pay. That there are no billboard ads for personal injury lawyers, clearly doesn't imply injury

The general problem of how to advertise a small business has never been solved. I see ads for some local pizza places, as they've learned that can work for a delivery business, but most restaurants have no ads. They don't know of

This feels poorly marketed. The examples like health, travel, and kid's education all have a ton of anxiety around them. Highlighting a confirm button existing is recognizing the problem, but isn't a fix. You can see this not work

A bit south of SF, the city of San Mateo has kept downtown B street, their main downtown road, closed to all traffic ( https://cityofsanmateo.org/4448/B-St-Pedestrian-Mall-Improve... ). That area seems just as popular as

I might recognize a color theme or similar. I had a friend make a joke about a lawyer who was apparently on multiple billboards for years. The name didn't click at all, so he had to explain. I did notice later due to the joke priming m

If you asked me to name the companies on the billboards that line the highway I commute on, I couldn't do it. I don't think any single form of advertising is effective on the whole population.

It's logical if you view them as unsuccessful. But if "decision-making rights are unclear" is listed, it seems unlikely those people were the problem.

The most successful use of AI has almost certainly been advertising, which companies were already doing before the recent AI hype. If by AI we mean LLMs, the question looks a bit different.

People used to recognize the Spanish influence on California. It influenced architecture, and people understood the context of things like Zorro ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorro ). But that's now basically gone

Excepting strategy games, the industry's experience has been that most players won't notice clever AI. There have been a number of games that have tried AI conversations, but you're basically trying to sell a Chat GPT prompt,
